The Kansas City Chiefs hold a serious interest in bringing wide receiver Tyreek Hill back to the franchise, according to a report by The Athletic. Hill is currently a free agent and recovering from a severe knee injury sustained in September 2025 while playing for the Miami Dolphins.
Drew Rosenhaus Begins Negotiations for Tyreek Hill
Agent Drew Rosenhaus is scheduled to begin negotiations with multiple NFL teams, including the Kansas City Chiefs, according to ESPN reporter Adam Schefter. Rosenhaus indicated that he expects Tyreek to possibly sign with a team within the coming days. Hill has not yet been cleared to resume football activities, though medical timelines suggest he could return to the field by November. The 32-year-old veteran remains unrestricted on the open market following his departure from Miami.
Roster Pressures at Arrowhead Stadium
Kansas City initiated contact with Rosenhaus to explore a potential reunion before injuries struck the wide receiver room during a 30-27 victory over the Las Vegas Raiders. During that Sunday matchup, the Chiefs lost wide receivers Tyquan Thornton and Rashee Rice to injuries. Following the game against Las Vegas, Patrick Mahomes, Travis Kelce, and Chris Jones publicly expressed support for a potential homecoming for Hill.
History in Kansas City and Miami
The Chiefs originally drafted Hill in the fifth round of the 2016 NFL Draft. During his first six seasons with the organization, he recorded four 1,000-yard receiving campaigns, earned three first-team All-Pro selections, and won Super Bowl LIV. Kansas City traded Hill to the Miami Dolphins in March 2022, where he posted consecutive seasons with at least 1,700 receiving yards.
